Throughout the week, they delivered lectures and conducted practical sessions for students at the Institute of Management within the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences. Each instructor presented their own original curriculum focused on modern approaches to management. Professor Pavlo Brin focused on the role of corporate social responsibility in shaping business competitive advantages: participants examined how strategic communications and a clearly defined mission influence the effectiveness and sustainability of organizations. Professor Olena Prokhorenko focused on practical management tools—methods of delegating authority and approaches to resolving complex management situations; the «conflict cloud» was examined separately as a tool of the theory of constraints for finding balanced solutions.
